Do we have an exact idea of what could be the defence layout of those islands ? I imagine a combination of short, medium and long range defensive weapons, with some offensive assets for counter attack.
Do we have sources on this subject ?
I can't even identify the type of turret and/or weapons (if these are turrets) that are depicted on the above pictures.
Thanks for your lights.

This is being discussed on multiple threads, from another thread:
I think those are the more complex looking structures which CSIS alleges to be SAM/AShM VLS.

No doubt China will pursue its national interests in the SCS and elsewhere, but so would other countries. Something will be eventually worked out, but that day will not happen unless and until US and China works out a power-sharing arrangement that suits both Capitals. When (not if, but when) it happens, the rest will fall in line.Very aggressive of China to prepare to defend its islands.
